Pearls & motorcycle gear?! Fashion statement or faux pas



Most of my riding revolves around commuting to and from work.  I wear my gear all the time and don't feel very girly at all, but yesterday Granny's pearls changed that for me.  I think they may just be my signature piece from here on out, I kind of like the mix of 'industrial rough & tough' with girly oldfashioned.  I wonder what June Cleaver would think?.......

Really Mother Nature?!



Dear Mother Nature,

Honey you are cramping my Moto Mama style. As much as I love spring flowers, I am really tired if your showers, your cold/ hot flashes and greyness are really starting to fray my moto nerves too. So please send this soggy Moto Mama a good stretch of hot weather - lets say until December????

Affectionately,
Scooterpie

I love the flowers that are blooming in the garden and so apparently does PupZilla.  She patiently sat there while I took that photo, but I did catch her nibbling a bloom or two.

Insurance blues $$



So here I sit in my office staring out the window looking at some watery sunshine and thinking 'do I or don't I?' Insurance on Scarlet expired on Sunday and I decided that I would try and make it through the short month of February by walking or taking the bus to and from work in an effort to make paying insurance a little more doable instead of it hitting right after Christmas when of course I am paying off my contribution to boost consumer confidence by spending my hard earned cashola at Christmas. 

The groundhog has said we are in for an early spring (not that I put much stock in rodents.  I don't know about you guys, but if I was a groundhog I would be pretty snarked at the dude who pulled me out of my burrow and flinging me about looking for my shadow to show or not.) I knew we were getting spring before he did, because our winter has been mild and blossoms & blooms are coming up everywhere.  Our temps are warming up and past February's have been pretty chilly.  This of course may be a fake out by Mother Nature or maybe not, particularly after the crappy summer she gave us last year. 

So what say you moto peeps?  Do I stick it out or should I buzz out and get insurance?  After all there is a long weekend coming up and I am seeing a little bit of sunny skies in the forecast.  Hmmm what to do?
